3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup butter
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter and sugar, then egg, then vanilla. In separate bowl, sift together remaining dry ingredients. Add alternately to creamed mixture, buttermilk and sifted ingredients. When finished mixing, place bowl in refrigerator, covering the bowl with plastic wrap. Chill 8 hours. Form dough into figure eights, handling the dough as little as possible. Bake on greased cookie sheets for 10 to 15 until just barely brown.

This recipe is great and easy, I have never made it before and I really don't like kringla but my neighbors do so I made it for them. They LOVED it, said the best they ever tasted, and they are in the 80's almost 90. One thing I would mention for newbies like me, roll them out to about pinkie finger size before shaping and baking. Mine were big, but very soft.

We make these every year but our recipe has anise seed and flavoring in it as well! They are delicious!

I have an old Kringla recipe that is great and this is horrible in comparision and nothing like the true version of this Coffee n Tea cookie.

Kringla has been a tradition in my family since I was born. My grandmother was Norwegian and made this every year. Now that she has passed I plan on carrying on! Kringla is WONDERFUL, just don't overwork the dough.
